De Venoge 1995 Louis XV Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Online Exclusive
- $199
Bottled in a decanter (thoughtfully supplied with a stopper), this is De Venoge’s homage to King Louis XV, who first decreed the bottling of Champagne in the region to preserve the bubbles. This shows toasty, petrol richness, but has preserved much of its original freshness, leaving a good few years’ potential.

De Venoge 2000 Brut Millésimé Sparkling (Champagne)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
Full and ripe, this wine has the ease of the 2000 vintage but has integrated textured acidity and some powerful green and white fruit flavors. There is an attractive yeast element to add complexity.

De Venoge 1995 Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
A ripe, balanced wine which is showing some good, toasty bottle age. De Venoge Vintage has a Pinot-dominated blend which ages the wine, but also gives elegance. The wine has flavors of white fruits, crisp apples and fresh croissants to give good complexity and richness.

De Venoge 2000 Brut Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay (Champagne)
- Online Exclusive
- $75
A fine, mineral-textured wine, crisp with lemon juice acidity and well integrated with green apple flavors. It has developed attractively, with weight in the right places.

De Venoge 1993 Grand Vin des Princes Sparkling (Champagne)
A mature wine, which is now perhaps a little too old. It has fine toastiness, certainly, but the structure has gone and it is now very mature. Enjoy it for this character, but it was probably better three years ago.

De Venoge NV Cordon Bleu Brut Sélect Sparkling (Champagne)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
A very soft wine that just hints at a crisp food character. Everything is there—the fruit, acidity and a tight texture—but the wine overall shows an indistinct, unfocused character.

De Venoge NV Brut Rosé Sparkling (Champagne)
- Online Exclusive
- $55
A bitter wine, revealing some hard, extracted tannins. The fruit is tight, slightly green, although there are also attractive flavors of wild strawberries. The finish is marked by unbalanced sweetness.
